Many people go by the brand of computer that is considered to be the 'best.' Personally I would define something as being the best according to what suits your family better. Meaning, find out what abilities their computer should have, like loads of memory/space, a webcam, built in mic. Then set a price range, and go from there. Several stores sell loads of laptops, and there you can test out computers and the employees could tell you about each computer.
Error Guessing comes with experience with the technology and the project. Error Guessing is the art of guessing where errors can be hidden. There are no specific tools and techniques for this, but we can write test cases depending on the situation: Either when reading the functional documents or when we are testing and find an error that we have not documented.

A two peg test is a test for error within a surveying level. This test gives a fairly accurate check for the amount of collimation error. Collimation error is the difference between what the level hairs in the scope say is level, and what is actually level. To run the test, put two "pegs" e.g. (PK nails, Leveling turtles, etc) 100' apart from eachother. Place the level halfway between the two pegs. Take readings on both pegs and find the difference in elevation. Move the level 20 past either peg and take readings from both pegs. Find the difference in elevation again. If the elevation is different from the first readings, there is a collimation error.
